Clowney Happy to Return to Texans

Clowney, who was the Texans' first overall pick in 2014 but traded away by O'Brien in 2019, said he and his former coach never made a good fit. 'I tried to live up to the lofty expectations O'Brien had for me but could never satisfy his coach,' the defensive end admitted.

The veteran player noted a dramatic change in the team's culture since Ryans took over. 'The building changed a lot, in a good way. A very, very good way. More relaxed in that building than it was when I first got there,' Clowney said, crediting Ryans for creating a positive environment. betsport.cv
